So much aweomeness in the last few NewPages! Even in the face of what seemed like a certain end, the Timewaiters have clung together and been positive and supportive in their fear and worry. I salute you all! I consider myself very, very lucky to be a part of the OTT-community.

And as for the OTC: This is NOT what I was expecting. A sudden appearance of a flat black (possibly semenatedcaffinebabbysea) horizon!? No slow fade-in from the all white, just "Ba-dah-GONG" and there it is...

Time moves in mysterious ways.

And so it must relate to a song. How 'bout a paraphrase of Black and White (for you olde pharts):

Because they watched Dark Angel, John Doe, Kyle XY (which seems just like John Doe from what I read) Firefly, and/or Lost, and they have not enough faith in the Great Lord Randall.

It's so weird seeing BlitzGirl post short, prompt posts. I never thought about which now-timezone she was in before, but now it looks like it might even be near mine. See, she even posted while I was writing this post! And it was something I'd been thinking of, too.

There is a little hump (or 2) in the screen. That's an indication it's not the sea (notoriously b.i.g).

I've looked on Google Maps giving these 2 humpy clues, and it seems to be in the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location. I predict M&C will be walking in the frame, probably from the left, carrying bags. Maybe they'll tak monsters, or some kind of weird mirror. These are just examples; it could also be something much better.

This would be a really weird fade effect in a normal-speed animation, by the way. Slowly fade to white, followed by an instantaneous (fade-less) switch to a new scene?

"The key to eating a black and white cookie, Elaine, is you want to get some black and some white in each bite. Nothing mixes better than vanilla and chocolate. And yet, still, somehow racial harmony eludes us. If people would only look to the cookie. All our problems would be solved."

EDITED to add the Seinfeld reference, of course...

Former Forever member of the OTT, now moved on to other things sucked back in by the wowterful wonder of the thread...

Knight Temporal of the One True Comic {bestowed by BlitzGirl: NP 1315}

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocations of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

First of all, congratulations and welcome to BlitzGirl. What an incredible journey through Time!

Unfortunately, I would be lying if I were to say that I followed the OTC with any diligence. Since the Beginning I have remained on the Outside, venturing in only to check up on progress every 12-36 Newpix or so, and filling in the gaps with the compiled gifs.

I have lurked long enough on the forum to feel moved by the events of the past ~24 Newpix. BlitzGirl made it, just as it looked like the End of the OTC was upon us. But just when it seemed like all was finally over, what joy to have come back to see something after #ffffff! With a new scene, and the return of Cueball and Megan, I think it is only right that I thank all the Initiates, who have really created something grand.

Alright, I'm finally joining and saying hello just to say that this thread is awesome and that I'm so glad that the OTC is not over. Being a liberal arts major though, I think my ability to participate fully is hampered so off I go.....back to lurking, always reading your posts, always judging....1
